    Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Or, let's make some money for charity)

    Hahahahaha. It’s come to that hasn’t it :)

    Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Or, let's make some money for charity)

    OK - I guess let’s just hope he comes back quickly.

    Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Or, let's make some money for charity)

    QSus interruptus… I’m good for the $50 even if he doesn’t come back as he has outperformed so far.

    2023 Pats: Offseason

    Probably a 30% overlap with “his performance and / or skills have diminished due to injury and / or age, so the contract no represents longer good value.” Edit: or hunger

    Pats lose 2 days of OTAs for violation of league policy

    There must be another shoe to drop in this affair. Agree with the above that rules must be followed. But very surprised they weren’t followed - this is not a new rule and none of the coaches involved are new.

    Kiké with a May HR. Cha-ching!

    Corey Kluber moving to the Bullpen on Friday

    Below are the 8 pitchers who have started a game for the Red Sox in 2023, ranked by FIP. Whitlock is on the 15-day-IL currently. So that leaves 7 SP. Kluber's FIP is a full run worse than any of the other six SP, and his K, BB, and HR/9 rates are far worse than any of the others. And we are...

    2023 Starting Rotation

    Houck was tough in the sixth, and the top of the 7th was so quick (8 pitches!), that he hardly even sat down. Maybe Cora asked and he said he was cooked; maybe it's part of an early season caution with the starters; maybe Houck has little experience after 83 pitches - which I did see in the post...

    2023 Starting Rotation

    Need to avoid gamethreading in this thread. As well though, the Sox need to not be afraid of replacing starters who are mowing guys down with less capable relievers.

    Red Sox sign Kenley Jansen

    So it's not just The Red Sox who have closer drama... The Tampa-Toronto game that just ended had an exciting finish by one of their closer by committee Pete Fairbanks. After Zack Littell allowed 3 hits including a solo HR in the top of the ninth to narrow it to 6-3, Fairbanks came in and got the...

    James Paxton exercises his $4 million option

    Maybe wait until he’s made 10 starts first. Then we can measure him up for a statue.

    RIP Jim Brown

    These last two posts taken together seem to me to be a pretty balanced valedictory for an individual who was best of all time at football, did much public good after retiring, but was an angry violent man in his private life. The Cleveland.com article was pretty shocking. If Eva Bohn-Chin had...

    Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Or, let's make some money for charity)

    And a QS as well… clearly I’ll be poor (er) by October He’s up to 11 IP now I think.

    Cora: Pivetta is going to the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever

    @Sin Duda No one betta!

    Cora: Pivetta is going to the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever

    I just snipped a screen shot. But there are cleverer people than me who can actually put tables in their posts. Check out this post by @Jman for the syntax...

    Cora: Pivetta is going to the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever

    Let's review what we have in Pivetta. 30 year old SP, making $5.3M, last year pre arbitration. He's a less expensive option, but his salary would jump next year with good results - and this also may inform his reluctance to go to the pen. Has pitched to 4.48 FIP or 96 ERA+ in his 2+ years with...

    Cora: Pivetta is going to the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever

    Isn’t long relief code for putting a warm body in when the game has gotten out of hand? That’s what I think they’re going to use him for until there’s an opening in the rotation again. Pivetta is if nothing else reliably healthy.

    Cora: Pivetta is going to the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever

    Exactly this. He doesn’t have to like being demoted to the bullpen, but he’s on the team, and he wants to win. If that means being a multi inning reliever for a while, so be it. Based solely on the recent injury history of the guys in front of him, his stay in the bullpen will likely be...

    Tilt: Game Over

    Not close enough to the day to day ramblings of our team and fandom, but if you just coined this, take a bow.

    Way Too Early 2023 Season Prediction

    I don’t know how one can see four wins out of that first six games. But at the same time, I don’t see a consolation win in the last game of the season being the only division win of the season. I think like many of us, I am unsure what to believe simply because this team is not going to be...
